True, but it's something. There are quite a few bugs in the database where it would take 15 minutes to change and upload, but the mainatiner has neither made the change or explained why he won't. OTOH, if a maintainer wants a backtrace or other information, I'm usually more willing and capable to do it right after the bug report than a month after, when I've probably worked around the problem and upgraded libc and perl a couple times since then. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org http://dvdeug.dhis.org Looking for a Debian developer in the Stillwater, Oklahoma area to sign my GPG key
